Textbook Affordability

College textbooks are expensive and too often students delay or avoid textbook purchases because of cost, negatively impacting success, access, and academic progress. �ϰ�� is committed to raising awareness of textbook affordability issues and engaging in initiatives that promote the use of affordable and high-quality course materials. Timely adoption of textbooks, use of OERs and other low-cost materials, and digital course material programs can all contribute to textbook affordability.

Affordability Counts

To raise awareness and increase the use of low-cost instructional materials, �ϰ�� partners in Affordability Counts, a statewide initiative that recognizes faculty throughout the state who adopt low-cost materials.
Follett Access

�ϰ�� partners with Follett ACCESS to provide students with more affordable options and faster access to course materials, so students have what they need before the first day of class.
Open Educational Resources (OER)

To reduce overall costs of student’s learning materials, �ϰ�� encourages faculty to adopt high-quality Open Educational Resources (OER) in place of traditional and expensive textbooks.
Textbook Adoptions

Timely adoption of textbook materials helps students plan for their financial needs, including the purchase of textbooks, and helps the �ϰ�� bookstore secure the best cost options for students.
Zero Textbook Cost

To support statewide efforts to reduce the cost of learning materials for students, �ϰ�� joins other Florida universities in identifying online course offerings that require course materials at no cost to students.
